Nothing left to lose

 Sunny hadn't meant to keep it a secret. But she knew Jun's grandmother was in the assisted living place where Sunny worked.

It wasn't that she knew this instantly, and she hadn't made it a mission to find Jun's grandmother. But she'd known her over the last few months. They talked ever so often. Sometimes, the old woman would come out in her wheelchair on the floor and join bingo or an art project. Sometimes, she'd stare at the TV. 

Sunny did her best to make the frail woman comfortable. Usually, Sunny would help with her plants in the bay window of her room. That was where she finally realized the youngster she'd been seeing in all her photos was Jun.

"I didn't know, I really didn't know until..just yesterday." 

Sunny was practically in tears. She didn't know how to tell Jun the news, but she had Louie to calm her down. He told her not to worry. She was not at fault.

"If he'd wanted to know, he would have known already," Louie told her. After all, Jun was trying to figure out his new job. Neither was sure he'd last at the coffee shop.

"Even if we told him, it doesn't mean he'll go see her," Louie said after a while when they sat down to eat.

Sunny nursed her bottom lip. "But, but she doesn't have any family, and the way she waves at people. It's like she hopes they are her family."

"He needs to know," Louie sighed. "I'm sure he was hoping she was still at home and she would just give him her house."

"I'm sure she had to sell the house to move there," Sunny tensed.

Louie dished out some stew, but she hesitated to eat. 

"Look, if Jun doesn't want to see her, then..well, we'll go," Louie said. "But you know, maybe if Chewy and Chai take Daisy to see her, he'll come to."

It was hopefully, but Sunny had no idea what might be on Jun's mind.
